This Month’s Gem News: Heliodor
Value, Price, and Jewelry Information
The
International Gem Society has useful information on it’s website on many items
of interest. They also
have All That Glitters permission to use our photos in articles on their
website. In fact, our photos
are scattered widely throughout their site, including one photo of Rare Cat’s
Eye Heliodor which is
included in this article (and which was originally published in Gems &
Gemology magazine(GIA)). Our
gemstones pictured in this article are incredible on their own but are also far less
expensive than a comparable Cat’s Eye Chrysoberyl, and also more rare. For those who wish a phenomenal
gemstone, these unique Beryls would be great, and men would find this cat’s eye
gem to be of interest, as these
pieces would make a great man’s ring!
(Phenomenal is a gemological term to indicate gemstones that
have cat’s eyes, stars, play of color, color change, color shift, etc. but
these are indeed phenomenal in their own right!)

Newly Faceted or Newly Photographed Gemstones:
A
number of gemstones have been faceted from All That Glitters rough by two of
our cutters and included:
Flat
Faceted Fancy Tear Drop Ametrine, Fancy Cushion African Garnet (not photographed
– can’t get an accurate color),
Fancy Shield Blue Flash Amethyst; and three Hand-Grooved Ametrines - a Super
Fancy Kite and two Emerald Cuts. (all
of our specialty/blended Ametrines are selected by hand at the only Ametrine
producing mine on the Bolivian/Brazilian border!)
The
last Blue Flash Amethyst to be faceted from our rough is due back from the
cutters and we expect to have this displayed on our website about the timeframe
this email is received. We expect to
have a few more newly photographed gemstones by the end of February, some
coming back from our cutter, and a few new acquisitions.

Gemstones in Cutting:
We have two large 100ct Oregon Sunstones that will be carved
and/or cut by the multi-award winning cutter, Dalan Hargrave. Dalan has
reached out to us in the past to indicate his thoughts on how he would approach
the cutting of each piece, and we hope that these pieces will be as beautiful
as his past pieces – many destined to be in major collections and
museums. We gave him the thumbs up to begin working his magic, and some
of his pieces are indeed magical! We are currently awaiting the
results. Dalan recently reached out to us to indicate that these should
be done by the Tucson Show. If all works out and this
indeed happens, expect to see photos of these pieces in late February.
